Do you know if the source is available? BTW, when I run em86 both under emulation and on my rh6.2 test box, I see: BUG IN DYNAMIC LINKER ld.so: ../sysdeps/alpha/dl-machine.h:493: elf_machine_rela: Assertion `! "unexpected dynamic reloc type"' Not exacly confidence inspireing ;) Can you point me at a version em86 that actually works under a modern RH (6.1 or better) linux?
